Mojang Joins Protest Against Anti-Piracy Law

***PLANET MINECRAFT JOINS THE FIGHT AGAINST SOPA AND PIPA!***

It seems Mojang is finally choosing a side as quoted by their article on GAMEBANDITS

"The proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is causing a lot of negative feedback in the gaming community. Sweden-based Mojang, developer of the popular independent game MineCraft, is scheduled to shut down the companyo s website, as well as MineCraft.net official site, indefinitely starting January 18. During that time, gamers cannot play the gameo s browser-based version, although it would be business as usual for those who already downloaded it..."
